Hi all,

I need to reference and use the ReportControl in a VB6 ActiveX DLL project, and use this dll in another application.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

In my Magic eDeveloper software, I can reference a dll and interact with it, much as I do now with the Codejock Suite controls.

Since I've discovered that sending data/records from a ReportControl to Excel is a lot easier to do in VB6 than in eDeveloper, I'm wanting to create a dll that the eDeveloper program can reference and send the ReportControl object to and have VB6 cycle thru the ReportRecords object and send the data/records to Excel.

That's the plan.

But I'm stuck on how to do this in VB6. The Codejock ReportControl needs to be referenced in the VB6 project, and the ReportRecords, ReportRecord and ReportRecordItem need to be Dim'd in the project.

So you have a dll that's referencing another dll.

[SOLVED] I needed to "Browse..." to the ReportControl ocx and select it in the Project > References dialog.

Anybody have an example of how to do this in VB6?

Thanx,

Mark Stuart
